History of parabola:

Menaechmus, a Greek mathematician from the middle of the fourth century B.C., is
credited with finding that the parabola is a conic section. He is also credited for solving
the difficulty of developing a geometrical structure for the cubed root of two using
parabolas. Menaechmus was unable to solve this problem with a building, but he did
demonstrate that the answer may be found by intersecting two parabolic curves.

History of circle:
The study of the circle predates recorded history. The creation of the wheel is a crucial
discovery of circular features. The Egyptians were regarded as the creators of geometry
by the Greeks. Ahmes, the author of the Rhind papyrus and a scribe, presents a
formula for calculating the size of a circle that equals to 256/81, or roughly 3.16. Around
650 BC, Thales discovered the first circle theorems.

Conclusion:

Conic sections, including circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, may be found all
around the world. Architects and engineers utilize them to construct arches, bridges,
cathedrals, and other structures. Conic sections may be found almost anywhere,
including outer space, such as our planet. Our lives would be incomplete if we did not
understand conic sections. Conic uses may be found all over the place. Conics have
also aided humanity. In the real world, the most prevalent conics are circles and
parabolas.We can't claim that conic sections aren't important in our lives since we do
not even know what they can accomplish or how they operate, and perhaps they can
improve our lives.
